About Me:

Director of Digital Operations for the NOLA Media Group, NOLA.com and The Times-Picayune. Lover of all things news, sports, entertainment, SEO, SMO and community engagement. I can be reached by emailing kmarszal@nola.com or calling 504-299-3505.

I've viewed the site on two different monitors, and three different browsers, and I'm not seeing any of the performance jerkiness you're experiencing. If you're running some kind of ad blocking software or plug in, that may be the reason.

Hey everyone... we've just rolled out an update to the fly-out navigation bar atop the website that eliminates the jumpiness (there should be a slight delay between hovering over and the fly-out appearing), flickering and incorrect headline feeds.

Hey Chattannola.. Thank you for the feedback. This is the web, everything is a work in progress. :)

I wanted to address your concern regarding the number of stories you are seeing. On our old design, each module (Breaking News, Sports, Entertainment, Living and Business) displayed anywhere from 1-7 headlines spread out over the entire page.

On the new homepage (and throughout the site), when you mouse-over each flyout, you'll see the latest 3 headlines alongside 2 featured entries across 6 topics (News, Business, Sports, HS Sports, Entertainment and Living). The idea is to make all of the latest and most important news easily available on every page. If you're reading a story anywhere on our site, you can easily browse up to 30 of the latest headlines without having to go back to the homepage.

Heyy Tripps... I wanted to let you know I'm passing your report along to our support team. Just so that we're on the same page... The mouse you are using has a track-ball and/or a scroll-wheel? Have you assigned specific functionality to either of these?

And the issue is that when you use either to scroll down the page, your mouse-pointer lags?

The more detail you can share, the easier it will be to get to the bottom of the issue.

MidCity22... Have you played with the headline flyouts yet? They were designed to allow readers access to see the latest headlines, from every page on the site. Eliminating the need of going back to the homepage to see what's going on.

3g... Seeing a number of top stories at a glance was tied closely to the design. Our old homepage displayed upwards of 40 headlines on a single page, however you had to travel from top to bottom to view a complete cross section of news.

The new design allows you to hover over/view 6 popular news topics, containing up to 5 stories (2 featured stories) each, with very little effort and no scrolling. I hope this helps!

Hey NOLARiverBen... Seeing top stories at a glance was a critical request incorporated into the design. Our old homepage displayed upwards of 40 headlines on a single page, however you had to travel from top to bottom to view a complete cross section of news.
